Migration Policy in the New Ecuadorean Constitution: Toward the Formation of a Transnational Nation-State 
by Jacques P. Ramírez G.

Ecuador’s new constitution, approved in 2008, establishes the basis for a new model of the nation-state, characterized as progressively transnational, that attempts to protect both Ecuadoreans living abroad and foreigners residing in the country. It recognizes the right to migrate and the transnational family and advocates universal citizenship, the free movement of all inhabitants of the planet, and the eventual end of the status of foreigner as an element of the transformation of unequal relations between countries.
